To anyone who does anything other than twist and tuck:
get a life
I use the clip if I can find it…
… I mean, was RIGHT HERE a second ago…
They’re not as good since switching to cardboard anyway
My hoarding of the plastic tabs for the past decade is finally coming in handy.
My ability to lose them immediately after grabbing first slice has not.
There’s a brand (I think it’s a small bakery here) that uses an awesome dual-wire one that I always keep because it is more a ‘clamp/clasp’ clip than a ‘tie/twist wire’ clip
I’m not sure I can picture what you mean but that sounds nice.
Wire peg.
Not quite. I’m pretty sure I have at least one spare floating around. Will take a pic when I get the chance!
I twist and roll the excess bag over the bread. Kinda like how you do socks
This is the way.
Tie a knot you monster!
I don’t see what’s wrong with it at all, solid foolproof method, I’d airlock my spaceship like that
Breadboxes are bullshit and you know it
They just make me forget about the bread.
Sounds like an scp report.
Someone call the memetics department. About what, I forget…
That must be a simultaneously fascinating and terrible job. Much like a normal SCP operative but worse and more boring.
“So you contacted us on Nov 18th about a problem.”
“Did I? What was it?”
“We don’t know.”
“So what do we do now.”
“First, I’m interviewing you about the thing.”
“Thing?”
“Yes, the thing.”
“What thing?”
“The thing you can’t seem to remember.”
“Wait, hang on, I’m so confused, what are you here about?”
“So… you contacted us on Nov 18th about a problem…”
“Did I? What was it?”
“[sigh] Hi, I’m from the Memetics Department. I’m going to perform a routine inspection. I hope you don’t mind if I search through everything?”
What bread? What are we talking about again?
Idk man I think I have to buy one.
Free penicilin.
Sometimes my mind needs a break.
You put the bread in the box, while using one of the other methods.
The box is there to look pretty.
The only thing a breadbox has done for me is give me molded bread the next day. Every time.
You might want to consider cleaning your moldy box…
The last one was new and I bleached it out before using it, still happened. The bread was also new.
Bread don’t last long. In to the fridge it goes.
Do people still use these? I haven’t seen one since my great aunt’s house in the early '90s, and I’m certain it was never used for bread. Still remember the smell of that kitchen. Picked up the early, mineral tones of her weird, dank basement. God damn, I played a lot of Megaman 2 in that basement. I think Megaman 2 is actually what that basement smelled like.
My gram used to put the bread and crisps in the oven when the oven wasn’t being used :)
We used to do that in my old tiny apartment until one of us forgot and turned the oven on.
Made some toast without knowing.
Chaotic neutral for life.
For people who value time as much as bread freshness.
Seriously, why anything else, it is the best seal and it is the fastest way. As long as you’re not going to travel with your bread, you don’t need an attach.
Chaotic neutral. Only way to live.
I don’t understand why the twist and tuck is seen as a bad thing. It’s a tight seal that is effortless to both do and undo.
Cuz it can fall apart if moved or slid. Needs to be redone when picked up.
I agree
I do that if I lose the original bread tag.
If I still have the tag, it’s twist and tag.
Though with modern cardboard tags, it’s a bit more difficult and the tags wear out more quickly.
Put it in the freezer.
This is how I keep an eight pack of burger buns fresh. Also freshly cooked freezes flawlessly.
Proudly Chaotic neutral.
Efficient and lazy, that’s my way!
Good enough is good enough for me
It’s not just good enough, it’s probably more air tight than the other methods because the twist is longer. Also, most plastic is air permeable.
My brother liked to tear open the bag in the middle, then leave it as is in the open.
I guess he’s Chaotic Evil Demon King
It’s just chaotic evil.
Leaving the bag open should be chaotic neutral. It’s a sign of somebody shifting focus with neither good nor bad intentions.
Chaotic Breadhitler
I’m hoping your brother was 3-5. Anything after that should have been slapped out of him.
He did that as a teen…
Is your brother a cat?
What about the knot that pulls apart effortlessly? I’ve been doing those all my life
I tighten bread bag knots to punish people for their hubris.
I am so grateful to the person who taught me that. I didn’t forget about you, Alice.
I dont understand bread bins. How do they not just make the bread stale
They do, you should always use one of the other methods to close up the bag, then put it in the bin
Depends on the bread and the bin. My parents have a pottery one, it keeps proper bread perfectly fresh. Of course you do need to eat a bit at least every day/every other day, because the cut side will dry out eventually.
Maybe that’s mostly the bread doing all the work though. I don’t know how you can store toast for any practical amount of time without consuming more preservatives than bread, lol
If you leave bread fully enclosed in plastic, all the moisture from the crumb moves into the crust and makes it soggy. But it doesn’t dry out.
If you leave it just open, it dries out.
That’s why (real) bread is best stored in a paper bag or in an unglazed ceramic bread bin. Those two materials allow for a slow exchange of air, therefore keeping the crust crunchy and the crumb soft.
I guess I dont have to think about this for my loaf of bleached supermarket bread
what if i like soggy bread
Believe it or not, straight to jail.
makes it (meaning the crust) soggy
Not really dripping with water, but it equalises the moisture between crumb and crust.
That’s not a concern for wonderbread, since the crust was never crunchy to begin with.
Flip lawful and true neutral, otherwise good chart
What is this “bottle hack”?
Cut off the top inch or so of a plastic bottle and put the top of the bag through it. You can then twist the cap back on the bottle to seal the bag
That makes sense for beans, but bread?
Makes sense for beans? I only recall very small bags of beans here in Finland. Other than that its only cans and boxes. Peas you can buy in pretty big bags though…
Ok, maybe I meant like dry lentils.
The original DiWhy, at least for bread
lawful neutral, then chaotic neutral when i lose the thingy
Chaotic neutral here. The twist tie that comes with the bag immediately goes in my twist tie collection.

Are you a crow?
Possibly… 🐦
I’m a cross between lawful and chaotic neutral. I use the clip, but also twist and tuck.
Why use many thing when weight of bread will do
Not to gripe at a funni meemee or anything but it’s interesting how 2 out of 3 the “good” options revolve around straight up consumerism.
“Think about how organized you would be if you had a special box to store your sliced bread!?! (Nevermind the fact that this totally unnecessary as the bread already comes in packaging that is both more airtight and likely more sterile)”
The environment weeps.
Also bag clips break. A rubber band or a knot (one you sure you can untie).
I usually use “just tucking”, though.
People put bread just loose in a breadbox? That’s disturbing. Keep the bread in the bag, but put it in the box so it doesn’t get squished.
